If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Conversion Shares prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of this Note (a “Conversion Failure”), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company (a “Void Conversion Notice”), may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to the Holder’s Conversion Notice;provided, that the voiding of the Holder’s Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant toSection 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise.
Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or repayment of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal is being converted or repaid. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal converted or repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted or repaid as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or repayment of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof.
Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of the Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests any Conversion Shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax.
15
Legends.
Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that this Note and until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Conversion Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):
THE SECURITY REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”
Removal of Restrictive Legends. The certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of such security by the Holder is effective under the Securities Act, (B) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under rule 144(b)(1) and the Holder thereof is not, and has not been during the preceding three months, an affiliate (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) (the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from the Conversion Shares in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that (i) the Holder will dispose of such shares pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or for its own account in compliance with Rule 144, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and (ii) if, prior to the disposition of any such Conversion Shares, the Company notifies the Holder that the Unrestricted Conditions have no longer been met, the Holder will agree to the placement of said restrictive legend on the certificates for such Conversion Shares until the Unrestricted Conditions have once again been met. Promptly following the Effective Date (as defined below) or such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion or other instruction to the Transfer Agent (if required by the Transfer Agent) to effect the issuance of the Conversion Shares without a restrictive legend or, in the case of Conversion Shares that have previously been issued, the removal of the legend thereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of the Conversion Shares, then the Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under thisSection 2(e), it will, no later than four (4) Trading Days following the delivery (the
16
“Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of any certificate representing Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such fourth Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.
Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from any certificates representing securities as set forth inSection 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell any Conversion Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
Limitations on Conversions.
Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Shares upon conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement to the extent that, upon such conversion, the number of Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “9.985% Cap”), provided, however, that the 9.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and provided, further, that if the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act beneficially own on the Issuance Date greater than 9.985% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, then the 9.985% Cap shall not apply to such Holder unless and until the beneficial ownership of the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act subsequently decreases to below 9.985%.For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding.
Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any Shares upon conversion of this Note (including pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) hereof) if the
17
issuance of such Shares together with any previous issuances of Shares under the Notes would exceed 57,885,577 (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Global Market and any other Principal Market for issuances of Shares in excess of such amount.
Applicable Limits on Conversion of the Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, this Note shall not be convertible, and the Company shall not issue Shares upon conversion of this Note, as a Conversion Price less than $5.00 per Share, [and unless the Tranche 3 Notes have been converted in full]2, (B) this Note shall not be convertible, and the Company shall not issue Shares upon conversion of this Note, if the number of shares that would otherwise be issuable upon such conversion, together with all shares previously issued upon conversion of all Notes or issuable upon conversion of any other Notes converted on the same Conversion Date, exceeds 30 million shares (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event), and (C) this Note shall not be convertible, and the Company shall not issue Shares upon conversion of this Note, if the number of shares that would otherwise be issuable upon such conversion, together with any shares issuable upon conversion of any other Notes converted on the same Conversion Date, exceeds the then Applicable Limit. For purposes herein, “Applicable Limit” shall initially mean (x) 30 million Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event) for all conversions of Notes at a “Conversion Price” of $3.33 (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event) or less, (y) 15 million Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event) for all conversions of Notes at a “Conversion Price” of $6.67 (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event) or more, and (z) $100 million of “Conversion Amounts” for all Note conversions at a “Conversion Price” of between $3.33 and $6.67 (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event); provided, however, that, after each Conversion Date, the Applicable Limit under all three clauses (regardless of which clause such conversion relates to) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Applicable Limit immediately preceding such conversion multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares actually converted on such date (in the case of clauses (x) and (y)) or the applicable “Conversion Amount” for all shares actually converted on such date (in the case of clause (z)) and the denominator of which is the Applicable Limit in respect of the clause under which such conversion falls immediately prior to such conversion. For purposes of illustration: (a) If 15 million shares are converted under any Notes at $3.00 per share, the Applicable Limit shall be reduced by one-half to 15 million, 7.5 million and $50 million, respectively; (b) If an additional $10 million are then converted under any Notes at $5.00 per Share, each Applicable Limit shall then be further reduced by 20% to 12 million, 6 million and $40 million, respectively. As an additional illustration, if 10 million shares are converted under any Notes at $8.00 per share, each Applicable Limit shall be reduced by two-thirds to 10 million, 5 million and $33,333,333, respectively; and (b) if an additional 500,000 shares are then converted under any Notes at $5.00 per share, each Applicable Limit shall be further reduced by 7.5% to $9,250,000, $4,625,000 and $30,833,333, respectively.

Registration Failures. Upon any Registration Failure, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the date of such Registration Failure in an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of such Holder’s original principal amount of this Note on the date of such Registration Failure. Such payments shall accrue until the earlier of (i) such time as the Registration Failure has been cured and (ii) the date on which all of the Conversion Shares may be disposed of for such Holder’s own account without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions and without the need for the availability of current public information under Rule 144), assuming that the Holder is not, and has not been during the preceding three months, an affiliate (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company. All such payments that accrue under this Section (4) shall be payable no later than five business days following such date of accrual.
Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable (or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to abona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions ofSection 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of suchbona fide dispute).

No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all purchasers of Notes pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.
19
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.
